Skagerak Vester Chair

A transverse brass rod that indicates where you pull out the chair. Legs that continue up into the backrest and becomes a small hook, where you can hang your purse. A body in golden oiled oak that naturally contrasts the details in brass. A dining chair designed in a well-proportioned idiom, making it a comfortable seat. Vester Chair is elegant in a discreet way and understated without losing its momentum. Vester Chair is developed and produced by Skagerak for the seaside hotel, Svinkløv Badehotel.

Vester Chair won ”Furniture of the year” at Danish Design Awards 2020.

CARE

Proper usage and maintenance is vital for getting the most out of the valuable resources we have. Our designs are made to last for generations, but just like everything else, they need a little care to get there.

Brass

Why
Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, popular for its superb malleability, hardness, corrosion resistance and attractive appearance.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Brass will tarnish over time, especially if it is not kept dry. Find a suitable brass polish and clean the brass carefully without staining other materials.

Note
Since brass can be quite susceptible to tarnish, small spots might already have occurred on the product when unpacking. These can easily be polished off.

Oil Treated Oak

Origin
Oak with the botanical name Quercus spp. grows in most temperate zones. Skagerak oak comes from European forests.

Why
Oak is a sturdy and hardwearing type of wood. Furthermore, the Skagerak oak is FSC 100 % certified or FSC Mix certified. The selection of the wood is extremely careful and all processing is done by hand, so that only the best and most durable pieces of wood are used in production. Oak contains tannins which reduces bacterial growth in the wood.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Your new product comes with an oil treatment. For daily cleaning, use a damp cloth. Spills are to be removed immediately to minimize risk of spots.
Oil treated products are to be retreated from time to time to keep the protective layer on the surface and maintain the aesthetic qualities from the oil.
For future treatment, use a suitable oil treatment product and follow the enclosed instructions carefully. Avoid contact of the oil with other materials to avoid spots and marks. If you wish to change the treatment of your product, the previous treatment must be removed completely before applying a new. Always follow the specified safety instructions of the treatment product and use the recommended personal protective equipment.

ABOUT

Skagerak is a family-owned company established in 1976 in Denmark. Our primary focus has always been on producing quality furniture designed to last for generations. As a Danish business, we are deeply rooted in Scandinavian heritage and craftmanship balancing the contracts between classical virtues and modern daily life. We believe in sustainable and straightforward beauty and work with skilled international designers that help us achieve that goal. Sustainability runs deep in our veins - in materials, production and the way we treat partners and employees, which is why we have been proud members of the UN Global Compact Act since 2010, B Corp since 2017 and FSCTM-certified since 2001. The name Skagerak refers to our northern location and to the strait 'Skagerrak' that connects Denmark to its Nordic neighbours - a strait that has been crucial in developing the region. Skagerak is an international brand that creates a functional and long-lasting design, and one of our most significant ambitions is to take responsibility and stay curious.
